Vehicle body protection
Vehicle body damage
repairing
Deep scratches or cuts on the
body paint must be repaired
immediately, otherwise the parts
without paint will be corroded and
the growth of the corrosion depth
will increase the repair costs.
Attention
If your vehicle body is damaged
and needs to be repaired,
make sure the corresponding
body workshop to apply the
anti-corrosion coating on the
repaired or replaced parts.
Cleaning underbody
Although underbody is coated
by anti-corrosion material,
the corrosive materials on the
roads to melt snow and ice or to
control the dust, can cause rapid
corrosion of underbody parts.
To prevent corrosion, wash
underbody every month and
specially at the end of winter with
cold or lukewarm water.
Wash it more carefully because
different parts of underbody are
not easily visible to detect the
defected parts.
There are drain holes on the floor
and lower edge of the doors. They
must be kept open to drain easily
the water, otherwise the water
can cause corrosion.
Notice that if you do not dry and
clean the underbody, worse
condition can occur.
Caution
After washing the vehicle you
have to drive slowly and apply
the brake to dry the brake
linings.
